Diyarbekir is my land, I've lost it, I'll burn

Diyarbakir is an ancient city with a history dating back three thousand years. It has been occupied, destroyed and rebuilt many times... In the last century, Diyarbakir has been turned upside down by major political events and government policies, as well as the progress of modernity and capitalism in this geography. The reason for the loss of the city's extraordinarily refined craft culture, musical taste, and "decency and manners" is not just the disintegration and scattering of the city's rich ethnic mosaic. This is there too, but there is also a general 'roughness'.
Seyhmus Diken, the author of "The City That Whispers Its Secret to Its Walls: Diyarbakir", chatted with the old Diyarbakir residents who witnessed the change of the city in the last seventy-eighty years... Senior citizens who know Diyarbakir as "Diyarbekir"... Their long-ago crafts, their forgotten customs, friendships and fellowship. They remember the joy of living in a mature city culture, ruined cemeteries, ruined cemeteries...
